  • The amount of cover you need, and how long you’d like to have it.
  • Your bank details to set up Direct Debit payments.

This cover is available for both new and existing Lloyds Bank customers. You need to be between 18-59 and live in the UK to apply online for:

  • life or critical illness cover* up to £500,000
  • single cover for one person 
  • level cover - the cash pay-out stays the same until the policy ends. This means you always know how much cover you’ll have if you need it.
